I love them. SO underrated. I blame THAT bloody song. Too ubiquitous. honestly, they played well but they kinda bored me, i think i just wasnt in the mood i like the band though Cool. Thanks for replying. conquistador was the best part of their set, i was just ready for yes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (deathlikesilence @ Aug 1 2012, 01:03 AM) but yeah good performances, downes wasnt sloppy, davison has a lot of energy, i had a good time crowd was pretty weak though, i'm guessing 400-500 people in a place that holds 12k what's bad is they played same venue with styx last year and almost packed the place, and davison is definitely better than benoit Did you mean 4000-5000? Yes is only drawing 400 people on a $19 ticket?! Good lord... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out the Indiana State Fair in 2010, 18,000 plus with The Envy (one of the bands on Gene's label) opening and packed River Bend in Cincy the night before.

ColdFireYYZ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I was hoping they'd come near me. I like Davison's voice and I would have loved seeing Procol Harum. Saw them last year with Styx and Benoit David and Downes were sloppy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Saw them last night at the Warner Theater in DC. The best Yesshow I've seen since ABWH in 1989, seriously. The band seems to have been revived with Jon Davison on board. They played tight, with alot of energy. And I'm sure they fed off the crowd, which was incredible -- standing ovations after nearly every song-- and the place was packed). The setlist was really good, highlights were leaves of green (with Jon coming out to sing), and of course, Awaken. Jon blows Benoit away, nailing the Anderson parts. He also seems to fit in much better with the rest of the band. Fish commanded the stage, Steve was flawless, and Alan had more energy then hes had in years. It was also cool to see Geoff Downes (love the drama era!). In sum- I saw them two years ago at the same venue (with Benoit) and it was an uninspired, at times sloppy performance, so bad I said I wouldnt see them again. Glad I decided to see this show, as it was the complete opposite. Go if you can! Edited August 5, 2012 by greg2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the other review dates for others ive seen on the yesfans message board have also been very positive. Id say its definitely worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the masked drummer Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Jon Davison was beyond belief! If you closed your eyes you would believe it was Jon Anderson. The band members were having a blast! Highly recommended!! A+++ Both Chris and Steve talked to the audience between songs, which was a treat in my humble opinion...

The Owl Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 For those who like Jon Davidson... check out his main gig "Glass Hammer" great band.. I liked Benoit David... and was actually familiar with him before being asked to join Yes... his regular group "Mystery" is very good as well... and I felt alot of the Yes community of fans were a bit unfair to him... simply for the fact that he was not Jon Anderson.
